To know for oneself...
Buddhism is not about logical analysis.
Quote:
As long as these scholars remain on their philosophical ground their demonstration must conform to logic and their textbooks, and the memory habit of erroneous intellection will ever cling to them. To make the matter worse, the simple-minded ones, poisoned by this erroneous view, will declare this incorrect way of thinking taught by the ignorant, to be the same as that presented by the All-knowing One.
But the way of instruction presented by the Tathágatas is not based on assertions and refutations by means of words and logic.

The assertion of philosophical views concerning the elements that make up personality and its environing world that are non-existent, assume the existence of an ego, a being, a soul, a living being, a "nourisher", or a spirit. This is an example of philosophical views that are not true. It is this combination of discrimination of imaginary marks of individuality, grouping them and giving them a name and becoming attached to them as objects, by reason of habit-energy that has been accumulated since beginning-less time, that one builds up erroneous views whose only basis is false-imaginations. For this reason Bodhisattvas should avoid all discussions relating to assertions and negations whose only basis is words and logic.

Your not teaching anyone to know for oneself.. Logic is not the means... as the Buddha above has pointed out.
I have also pointed out that direct perception is a realization. It is not a thought..
That realization is beyond any religion and belief... Your still stuck on the philosophy of it.. which is not a realization.
Do the PRACTICES and experience the truth, realize the truth... Don't just think you know... Like this thread is hoping you would do.
